The Grutter case involved a lawsuit against the admission process at the University of Michigan's Law School. Barbara Grutter lived in a white resident of Michigan. In 1997 she applied for admission to the University Michigan Law School. She had very good score. She wasn´t admit to school. But many people, who got worse result admitted to school. Michigan policy included race as one factor in admissions. It was part of an effort to increase diversity. The University argued that there was a compelling state interest to ensure a “critical mass” of students from minority groups, particularly African Americans and Hispanics. A state law school can use race as a factor in student admissions. The District Court found the Law School's use of race as an admissions factor unlawful. The Sixth Circuit had a different judgement. Court pointed to binding precedent called Justice Powell's opinion in Bakke, in which establishing diversity as a compelling state interest, and that the Law School's use of race was narrowly tailored. The Supreme Court affirmed the Sixth Circuit's reversal of the District Court decision. The court upholding the University's admissions policy.
